awareness isn’t enough
I believe that if ignorance is bliss then awareness is binding. Ignorance generates a good amount of attention while awareness for some reason generates little action. Enveloped by information, there is very little that happens in the world that we do not have the ability to learn about. Thus, many of us are quite informed of the nefarious actions and conditions of humanity. An American unaware of the existence of poverty or HIV/AIDS would be shocking. An American aware of these ills and not taking action? That would be status quo.
